I’m a bit tired today so that might explain why I’m still not fully engrossed in this.
I like Anthony Lapaglia and the voice he’s putting on for his role in this, is mostly good but it seems odd coming from him. The Skinheads weren't depicted with the same level of authenticity that most of the show seems to be. They were the kinds of skinheads that others probably would have picked on. I had the unfortunate chance to meet a few skinheads in the late 80’s to early 90’s. They mostly didn't impress with their intelligence and seemed to rely on their size or just having a roo loose in the top paddock. The skinheads in this episode only appear briefly but they would have had a lot more impact if more authentic. Maybe Dalton wrote them as light cliches in the book.
I was surprised where this episode ended up, maybe its the way the story is still too disparate to make enough connections, that is why i’m feeling bored (in spite of the positives it has going for it).
I really want the show to be good but will have to persevere… although it could be good and just not my thing.
